Your perception as a child is quite different from that of and adult. Studying His Word and fol lowing His principles strengthens our witness. This diligence reveals that " a little dab will do ya" isn't enough. As Christians mature (spiritu al depth) how they handle sit uations in life whether simple or complex changes. Those changes represent the God in them that witnesses to others about His- Grace and Mercy. As residents of the new com munity we are to become more and more like Him. That means that selfishness, greed, and anything else that pre vents all of humanity from reaching their potential is out. In my opinion, that include healthcare for all Americans! Faith and study are the foun dations that inspire maturity. Are you willing to grow?
